InterNetLC documentary letter of credit internet trade transaction and settlement system

ABSTRACT

The InterNetLC® Documentary Letter of net Trade Transaction and Settlement System is an alternative for commercial Letter of Credit transactions. It is a trade finance instrument issued by a bank or corporation via Internet for the purchase and shipment of goods to a buyer. The InterNetLC® conforms to and is negotiable by the ICC Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits. The InterNetLC® is a secure payment method for transactions that require settlement upon shipment, and is negotiable with authenticated e-documents representing the transport Bill of Lading or Air Waybill, Rail Waybill, Straight Bill, Courier Receipt, Invoice, Packing List and Bill of Exchange that are equivalent with the document requirements specified in the issued InterNetLC® Letter of Credit.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

[0001] The commercial Documentary Letter of Credit is used in international and domestic trade to negotiate settlement upon the shipment of goods from a buyer to a seller. The traditional Letter of Credit is issued via telex (SWIFT) and negotiated with manually signed hardcopy transport documents mailed or couriered between the par-ties and the banks involved. This process is labor intensive and time consuming. These transactions are conducted under the guidelines of the International Chamber of Commerce, Paris, France, Uniform Customs and Practice for Documentary Credits (UCP). The complexity of Letter of Credit transactions is due in large part because the banks, countries of origin, and the parties involved use the system for purposes other than the settlement of the sale transaction. Often times the documents required for negotiation reflect unnecessary details of the sales transaction, are used to restrict ports of call, or control the packing materials coming into the country. Because of the use of manually signed hardcopy documents and above added complexity, the commercial Letter of Credit has not been able to be adapted to the Internet. That is until now.

[0002] The InterNetLC® Letter of Credit is completely online via the Internet and uses only HTML electronic documents for issuing, amending, assigning proceeds, submitting documents and negotiating settlement. It conforms to the guidelines of the UCP whereas other Internet products to not, and use unique rules for their implementation. It is an alternative to the traditional hardcopy Letter of Credit. The InterNetLC® will Internet enable trade finance worldwide for both import and export from and to any country.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0003] The InterNetLC® Letter of Credit is an Internet alternative for Documentary Letter of Credit transactions. It is a trade finance instrument issued by a bank or corporation via Internet for the purchase and shipment of goods to a buyer. The InterNetLC® conforms to and is negotiable by the ICC Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits. The InterNetLC® is a secure payment method for transactions that require settlement upon shipment.

[0004] The InterNetLC® is negotiable with authenticated e-documents representing the transport Bill of Lading or Air Waybill, Rail Waybill, Straight Bill, Courier Receipt, Invoice, Packing List and Bill of Exchange that are equivalent with the document requirements specified in the InterNetLC® Letter of Credit.

[0005] The InterNetLC® transaction process: (1) the buyer and seller register with and agree to settle their transactions following the InterNetLC® Business Rules and ICC Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits, (2) the buyer places a InterNetLC® issued by a InterNetLC® licensed banking institution, (3) the seller ships the goods and submits digital authenticable e-documents of the ILC Transport Bill of Lading, ILC Invoice and ILC Packing list to for negotiation, and (4) the InterNetLC® is negotiated and payment is made to the seller and any assigned proceeds to third parties if the document contents are equivalent to the issued InterNetLC® requirements. The original transport documents are sent immediately upon shipment to the buyer by the seller or the freight forwarder to eliminate delays clearing customs.

[0006] InterNetLC® negotiation includes: (1) verifying the authentication of the submitted documents with digital identification; (2) comparing the documents equivalency with the issued InterNetLC®; (3) making payment minus fees if equivalent; (4) requesting buyer approval for making payment if not equivalent; (5) returning funds minus fees to the buyer if not approved and after the goods are returned; and (6) referring the transaction to arbitration in the event of a dispute between the buyer and seller. As with any Letter of Credit the InterNetLC® transaction does not concern itself in any way with the goods, shipment thereof, or contract performance, only with the required documents evidencing movement, value, content and time.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0086] 1 InterNetLC® Documentary Letter of Credit Internet Trade Transaction Settlement System.

[0087] InterNetLC(r)™ (ILC) is an Internet substitute for Documentary Letter of Credit transactions. It is cash or bank credit backed instrument issued by a bank via Internet for the purchase and shipment of goods to a buyer. The InterNetLC is negotiable by the ICC Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits.

[0088] InterNetLC™ is a secure payment method for sellers that demand payment upon shipment and for buyers that want to pay against transport documents. InterNetLC™ is payable by a bank with digital identification authenticated e-documents representing the transport Bill of Lading or Air Waybill, Rail Waybill, Straight Bill, Courier Receipt, Invoice, Packing List and Bill of Exchange that are equivalent with the document requirements specified in the InterNetLC™.

[0089] InterNetLC™ can be used as an alternative to a Letter of Credit for international or domestic purchases. A InterNetLC™ is available to and from most countries and between any buyer and seller with Internet access.

[0090] InterNetLC™ transaction process: (1) the buyer and seller register with and agree to settle their transactions following the ICC Uniform Customs and Practices, (2) the buyer places a InterNetLC™ to a seller issued a banking institution, (3) the seller ships the goods and submits digital identification authenticable e-documents of the transport bill of lading, invoice and packing list to for negotiation, and (4) the InterNetLC™ is negotiated and payment is made to the seller and any assigned proceeds to third parties if the document contents are equivalent to the issued InterNetLC™ requirements. The original transport documents are sent immediately upon shipment to the buyer by the seller or the freight forwarder to eliminate delays clearing customs.

[0091] InterNetLC™ negotiation includes: (1) verifying the authentication of the submitted documents with digital identification; (2) comparing the documents equivalency with the issued InterNetLC™; (3) making payment minus fees if equivalent; (4) requesting buyer approval for making payment if not equivalent; (5) returning funds minus fees to the buyer if not approved and after the goods are returned; and (6) referring the transaction to arbitration in the event of a dispute between the buyer and seller. As with a Letter of Credit the InterNetLC™ transaction does not concern itself in any way with the goods, shipment thereof, or contract performance, only with the required documents evidencing movement, value and content.

[0092] 2 The InterNetLC® Process

[0093] 2.1 General

[0094] The ILC provides an online trade transaction settlement method that provides an alternative to the traditional commercial Letters of Credit. It separates the settlement function from logistics, customs, payment, currency control and the myriad of other things that Letters of Credit are used for besides settlement. The system is precise and requires the parties involved in a trade transaction to follow its process and procedures. Its reward is fast payment to the seller, immediate available of transport documents to the buyer, and very low transaction costs with similar protections afforded by Letters of Credit.

[0095] 2.2 Registration

[0096] The parties to the transaction must Register (REG) with the system and sign in (SIG) each time they need access. The Registration includes name, address, telephone numbers, and banking references. All parties to the transaction must provide banking references to be used in the “know you customer” procedures, and “anti-fraud” procedures. The system functions allowed to a registrant depend on the party's function in each transaction. Buyers cannot assign proceeds or submit documents, and sellers cannot issue purchase orders or apply for InterNetLCs.

[0097] 2.3 Basic Ordering Agreement

[0098] The buyer and seller must agree to a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) as the baseline for all transaction functions. This agreement contains all of the terms and conditions that are required to issue Purchase Orders, InterNetLCs, Amendments, Assignment Proceeds and Submit Documents. The terms and conditions cannot be altered during the transaction. Alterations. and/or changes during the transaction result in discrepant document submittal if the chancre is a data element used in settlement.

[0099] 2.4 Dynamic Purchase Order

[0100] The Dynamic Purchase Order (DPO) is used to confirm or negotiate the Purchase Order prior to its issue b the buyer. The DPO is a draft of the planned Purchase Order to the seller. When the seller accepts its terms, conditions, pricing, ship date and details, it becomes a Purchase Order and is then issued by the buyer to the seller.

[0101] 2.5 Purchase Order

[0102] The Purchase Order (PO) is issued by the buyer and is either Accepted or Not Accepted by the seller. The PO is not used in the settlement process, but is used to define the sale and the amount of InterNetLC needed to support the settlement.

[0103] 2.6 InterNetLC® Letter of Credit

[0104] The InterNetLC (ILC) is the buyer's alternative to a documentary Letter of Credit. The TLC is support with either cash or a bank credit line, and is issued by a bank. It conforms to the International Chamber of Commerce Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary Credits, Publication 500. The seller/beneficiary of the Credit receives the ILC online via the Internet, and presents documents online via the Internet. The hardcopy originals are sent to the buyer at shipment the same as open account, while E-documents with the same information are sent to the issuing bank in html format. The ILC issuing bank will also participate as the advising bank, negotiation bank, and reimbursing bank.

[0105] 2.7 Good Funds Request

[0106] The ILC requires cash or credit support with the issuing bank. Credit arrangements must be made with the issuing bank after application content approval and before issue to a beneficiary.

[0107] 2.8 Amendment

[0108] An Amendment may be applied for by the buyer to the ILC issuing bank. A seller can only request an Amendment from the buyer, and if the buyer agrees, the buyer may then apply for the Amendment. The seller still has the option to “Accept” or “Not Accept” the Amendment after it is issued. The original ILC is irrevocable after issue unless agreed to by the buyer and seller, as such, the seller is not obligated to accept any changes via Amendment.

[0109] 2.9 Assignment of Proceeds

[0110] The seller is the beneficiary of any proceeds of an InterNetLC. The seller may assign a part or all of the proceeds potentially due him to a 3^(rd) party.

[0111] 2.10 Negotiable Document Submittal

[0112] The required documents for InterNetLC negotiation are html E-documents that contain the actual information as the hard copy documents evidencing movement, value, content and usance (time to payment). The ILC E-document templates are retrieved form the ILC transaction database partially filled out with previously entered data from the buyer and seller. The remaining information relating to actual shipment date, value, content and time is entered along with the requirement to edit differences between the previously entered data and actual data. The E-documents are then submitted online to the issuing and negotiation bank.

[0113] 2.11 ILC Negotiation

[0114] InterNetLC negotiation of E-documents follows the UCP 500, and the same standards as a Documentary Letter of Credit.

[0115] 2.12 Cash Management

[0116] Cash Management reports are available to keep track of payments made and pending negotiations.

The BOA does not specific sales terms such as unit price or quantities. The BOA is in effect for a specified period of time, and may be renewed. The BOA is unique to the specified INCOTERM, mode of transport, insurance agreement, freight charges and tenor of payment, and instrument of payment. The BOA data is carried through all of the settlement documents and cannot be changed after agreement by the buyer and seller to its terms and conditions. The buyer and seller can have as many Basic Ordering Agreements in place as they choice.

[0159] 4.1.1 Initiating a Basic Ordering Agreement.

[0160] Both must agree to its terms and conditions before it becomes active. If the buyer and seller choose to change the terms of their agreement, they must initiate another Basic Ordering Agreement.

[0164] 4.1.2 Number of BOA's Required.

[0165] There may be one to many Basic Ordering Agreements in place and currently active at the same time, each one defining different terms and conditions for a transaction. In general there should be different BOA for each buyer and seller combination, each Incoterm, each mode of transport, each shipping condition and each settlement term. The specific terms and conditions that require a different BOA include (but not limited to):

[0166] a. The BOA is specific as to the seller, buyer, agent and bank references.
